In last year or two, I’ve started seeing hipster beards around B&O products and have some technical questions....

Do hipster beards, industrial design and architectural environments go hand in hand?

Are B&O dealers mandated to grow such beards?

Should we as fans and brand ambassadors grow such beards whilst casually carrying a portable B&O speakers in our hands and wearing B&O headphones?

I went through puberty at the age 8, so a beard grows after 2 days of not shaving - is this B&O recognised and approved?

My 3 year old son and 6 year old daughter love B&O, where can I buy a stick-on B&O approved hipster beards for them?

What are the specifications of a B&O beard?

Can we complement the beard with a pair Geoff Martin glasses and a Canadian accent or is that going a bit far or a bit silly?

Beards are the new cushions. There’s obviously been a change of marketing personnel at HQ, and I’m guessing they look like this...

I believe, but i may be wrong (although I vaguely remember an article on the FCCID blog…) that it may improve bluetooth reception.
But i can't testify, being more an airplay guy.

It's the start of a cult!

With a beard like that, it's like carrying your own personal acoustic tile 😁

Seems that all ‘we’ need from B&O is a new Beogram......to accept these beards.
